ic information
CHARACTER: Megatron
CANON: Transformers IDW
CANON POINT: Post-finale of Lost Light
INFO: Info page; app, and his TF wiki page (long)

TL;DR
He's a product of the "bright-eyed revolutionary to genocidal warlord to sad old man trying to make up for all the bad shit he did" pipeline. Lead a revolution on Cybertron to try and make a better world and got sucked into the horribleness of war, excessive violence, and indulging in a lot of warcrimes.

Being here is a reprieve from solitary confinement in space prison for the rest of his life, so he's doing his best to live in the moment. 90% guilt by volume and now an avowed pacifist doing his best to be a pacifist.

Megatron, unlike Drift, is not shy about being a giant robot and sticks to his own form whenever a holoform is not more convenient (i.e. doing human scale medical stuff).


REGRET:
Megatron did not join a particular battle against the ultimate product of his horrible authoritarianism, a group Decepticon die-hard loyalists hopped up on robot meth who wanted to kill Megatron for abandoning the cause lead by the ultimate pair of Megatron simps mad that senpair didn't notice them. As a result of his failure to join this fight earlier one his oldest and most genuinely loyal followers and arguably one of his few genuine friends, Ravage, was killed. He wants to turn back the clock and make sure that Ravage survives.

CR WISHLIST:
Anyone who wants to do a support group for People Who Did Bad Stuff and Feel Bad About It is a good choice. Negative CR absolutely adored. If you think he's an irredeemable villain, hate him all you want. Misinterpret him as being menacing when he's just trying to get a point across. People to antagonize him because while he tries really hard, he can still lose his temper and lash out. Youngish idealistic friends that he can feel protective about.

Negative CR is always welcome. Megatron is a polarizing figure who has very strong opinions about politics despite being a giant war criminal. While he tries to be humble, understanding, and friendly that doesn't always work out, as he still carries some pretty severe arrogance and a hell of a temper. Besides that he's also a mass-murdering war criminal and so if your character isn't about that, they can have a delightful negative relationship.

On the other hand, he likes to write poetry, he loves to learn, and he likes helping others learn. He's currently teaching classes on Cybertronian first aid if you want an easy handwaved connection or want to RP something like that out. He also can be found brooding in the common areas reading a lot. So people who want to be friends with the robot grandpa and either learn from him or teach him something new are always appreciated.

RECAP:
Now having been through multiple missions, Megatron is starting to doubt more and more whether these missions are worth it. Working on being less space-racists against organics in general and humans in specific. Is worried that he's getting too attached to the people on the station and wonders if he will be able to handle going back to his eternal imprisonment when this is all over. He keeps his cards close to the vest, but he's older and sadder. He does see the potential in all of the young people here (all of you are young to him, mind) and wants to nurture it in some way, though he's not sure how.

Also has a deeply complicated and awkward relationship with Drift, who Megatron is covering for because he doesn't want everyone else to know that they used to be besties on the murdertrain to Warcrimesville.

ETC: Blue and I are going to make you learn SO MUCH about Transformers that you never wanted to know
